Instructions

Preheat your grill.
In a large bowl, add the chicken breasts, avocado oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is completely coated.
Using tongs, place chicken breasts on the preheated grill, making sure that they are not touching.
Grill over direct medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden on the underside. Flip, then cook again for 5-7 minutes.
Use a digital thermometer to check that the internal temperature at the thickest part of the chicken breast has reached 165 degrees F., then remove chicken from the grill and place in a bowl.
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and parsley. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the hot chicken breasts and toss until they are completely coated. Let rest for 2-3 minutes, then serve. Enjoy!

Notes

If the chicken sticks to the grill, don’t force it! Let it cook another minute and then try again.
Storing instructions: store leftover grilled chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

To reheat: either microwave or reheat in a preheated 350 degree oven until warmed through.
